Q & A

How do I Bring Down the House?Build up your House Meter by stringing comboed moves together. Be sure to mix up the types of moves you perform. When the meter is full and blinking, run towards the basket (you need a clear lane so you don't get blocked). On the PS2, press TRIANGLE+R1+R2. On Xbox, press L+R+Y and you'll pull the basket apart and win the match, no matter what.

Can I use my Rags to Riches Baller in the TV Tournament?Yes, but you have to complete the entire Rags to Riches mode first. Once you do, save your baller. Then, when choosing a baller in TV Tournament, move to the division called Custom and load your guy from there.

Are there any cheats for this game?Yep. You can enter them at the match-up screen as always to unlock special modes and looks, or use the Phrase-ology section of Inside Stuff in order to cheat your way into some nice goodies. Check out the Secretssection of the guide for more info.

Who is the best baller in the game?Well, ultimately, if you play all the way through the game in Rags to Riches mode, your created baller will be the best on the block. However, if you're talking strictly NBA guys, the best are probably Shaq, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Predrag Stojakovic.

How do I build my skills in Rags to Riches mode?Perform the actions you want to get good at over and over again. If you want to get good at 3-Pointers, take a lot of them. That way, if you win your skills will be enhanced. In order to increase your ball-handling skills, use juke moves without any Juice.
